For Sale SOLD: Minolta Autocord I Recent CLA

[wjlapier]

SOLD. The Zeiss Ikoflex IB with the Tessar lens is in excellent working condition. CLA was done by Dan Daniels not too long ago. He not only did the CLA he also installed a Rick Oleson split image screen. Glass is clean and no fungus. Nice sharp lens in this camera. Leather is great all around. Comes with the plastic front lens cap only. $175 shipped in US fees included. SOLD

SOLD. The Minolta Autocord I is also in great working condition. The ground glass is bright and easy to focus so no Rick Oleson split image screen was installed. CLA was done by Karl Bryan with in the last year. Glass is clean and no fungus. Lens is super sharp. Leather is great all around. This camera has those odd strap lugs and I happen to find a pair of connectors for the camera--kinda rare. $325>$300 shipped in US fees included. SOLD

Trades are welcome. I'm good on most MF cameras but I'm looking for Mamiya Sekor 105mm Blue Dot for my C33. Also, a wide lens for my Fujica G690 ( with finder ).

 

[wjlapier]

How about $300 shipped with fees included ( in US ).

 

[Dan Daniel]

Dang, Bill, that Autocord is still available? Something has happened to the TLR market, maybe, because that's a nice deal, late model with a CLA from Karl...

Great lenses on the Autocords. I've owned several, they were well made, trouble free cameras.

Yep. Still here. Only one person interested. Yes, the "I" version is from 1965 ( late model ). I have the email from Karl Bryan detailing the CLA if someone is interested to know what was done and how much it cost.

Another day or so. I'll try somewhere else. I'm not desperate to sell so I won't drop the price below my asking price. I think it's fair considering the CLA and overall condition of the camera ( and the rare strap lug connectors ).

Funny. I have an Ikoflex (I can't remember the model) and an Autocord L with the selenium meter WHICH WORKS! mirabale dictu. As a user camera I much prefer the Autocord. note: the meter on the Autocord is, I feel, clumsy to use. The Autocord is a gem. Left hand to focus and release shutter, right hand to wind. Very fluid in use, much nicer than the Ikoflex or even my YashicaMat 124g which mimics the Rolleiflex requiring focusing with the left hand, then moving that hand to release the shutter.
Also note that the Autocord feeds film from the top to the bottom, rather than the usual feed from bottom to top, so the chance of some distortion of the film before exposure from resting around the bottom roller for a prolonged period is eliminated.
